- Description
- Galactic suburbia is a cultural history of postwar women's science fiction, a genre used in the United Stated after 1945 by nearly 300 women writers. The book can be used as a reference resource for studying the science-fiction writers or as a source of information on the formation of literary genres, women's work, domesticity, and scientific endeavors. The book includes case studies of well known writers such as Judith Merril, Carol Emshwiller, and Anne McCaffrey, and of lesser known authors such as Alice Eleanor Jones, Mildred Clingerman, and Doris Pitkin Buck. Yaszek challenges conventional literaty histories that posit men as the progenitors of modern science fiction and women as followers who turned to the genre only after the advent of the women's liberation movement.

- Description
- Shaw argues that Shelly not only gave birth to a literary genre by writing Frankenstei, but als established a paradigm for understanding the enduring fascination of science fiction for twentieth-century women writers, who, generally excluded from the debates that structure the role of new tecyhnologies and scientific theories in sociale life, have found a voice through engaging with the potential of this male-dominated genre. She focuses on the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Katharine Burdekin, C.L. Moore and Margaret St Clair.

- Description of Le Guin’s (1929) engagement with gender theory and practice. During the 1970s, Le Guin experienced a paradigm shift to feminism, a change which had effects on her work. This examination explores her early writing and how her work changed both thematically and aesthetically as a result of feminism. Attention is paid to Le Guin’s later phase, wherein she transitions to post-feminism.

- Description
- Using selections from writers like Margaret Atwood, Octavia Butler, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Karen Joy Fowler, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Tiptree jr., and many others, this collection shows how the imagined worlds of science fiction create hold experiments for testing feminist hypotheses and for interpreting philosophical questions about humanity, gender, equality and more. Four main themes: Part 1, ‘Human nature and reality’, concentrates on whether there is an intrinsic difference between males and females. Part 2, ‘Dystopias: the worst of all possible worlds’, portrays misogynistic societies uncomfortably familiar to the early 21st-century reader. Part 3, ‘Separatist utopias: worlds of difference’, assembles stories that scrutinize both the virtues and vices of separatism. In Part 4, ‘Androgynous utopias: worlds of equality’, the authors create worlds that anticipate the consequences, good and bad, of perfect sexual equality in education, intelligence, capability, and reproduction.

- Description
- This book examines how contemporary women novelists have successfully transformed and rewritten the conventions of post-apocalyptic fiction. Contemporary women’s work in this genre avoids conservatism, a nostalgic mourning for the past, and the focus on restoring what has been lost, aspects key to much male authored apocalyptic fiction. . .Instead, contemporary women writers show readers the ways in which patriarchy and neo-colonialism are intrinsically implicated in the disasters they envision, and offer qualified hope for a new beginning for society, culture and literature after an imagined apocalyptic event. Exploring science, nature and matter, the posthuman body, the maternal imaginary, time, narrative and history, literature and the word, and the post-secular, the book covers a wide variety of writers and addresses issues of nationality, race and ethnicity, as well as gender and sexuality.
